My site is HTML Valid by the W3C for all but one error. You see, to make a really great navigation bar in my left column, I added the
<p> attribute to the text in-between an
<a href=""></a> link attribute. I did this so that I would have better control over the text. The trick works, and it looks and functions great in every browser, but does not pass Validation standards. Your not supposed to have
<p>, a block-line attribute, inside of
<a href=""></a>, an in-line attribute. It's not hurting anyone, and like I said, it works and looks fine. Do I absolutely need validation?
P.S. If you didn't get what I was talking about...
What I did looks like this:
[HTML]<a href="http://www.htmldog.com"><p>Games</p></a>[/HTML]
And the W3C said I was being naughty:
Line 23, Column 66: document type does not allow element "p" here; missing one of "object", "ins", "del", "map", "button" start-tag.
…links" id="dos"><a href="http://www.htmldog.com"><p>Games</p></a></li>

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.
One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
